Description
«Bajo el curso de una fugaz pasión entramada de amor, poder, curiosidad, ingenua ambición y no poca aventura, el misterio fue convirtiendo a Carlota en uno de los símbolos de decadencia monárquica de una época imbuida de romanticismo y revoluciones del poder y del pensamiento». ¿Acaso la vida de Carlota estuvo llena de paradojas y contradicciones? Pese a nacer en el seno de una fastuosa familia de monarcas y ser educada para gobernar el destino de naciones, quien fuera alguna vez la princesa de Bélgica, muy joven enfrentó un destino adverso. Llevada por sus fantasías imperiales se embarcó al lado de su esposo, Maximiliano, para ocupar el trono de México. Pero nada fue como ella imaginó. En esta biografía se narra la historia de un matrimonio y un sueño fallidos, de un emperador fusilado y una emperatriz que a los veintiséis años de edad enloquece y es confinada trágicamente por poco más de medio siglo hasta el día de su muerte.
